Title A name given to the resource Train Whistle Description An account of the resource Once a belonging of well-known Boulder City resident Erma Godbey, this children’s toy mimics the sound of a locomotive’s steam whistle. Godbey’s husband, Thomas, was part of the first wave of workers hired to build the Hoover Dam in 1931. Godbey played this whistle as part of a “kitchen band.” Kitchen bands were a popular fad in the early twentieth century, consisting of kitchen utensils repurposed as musical instruments. In some instances, adults gave public performances, and in others, kitchen bands were merely a pastime to keep children entertained.

Description An account of the resource Designed to compliment a lady's dressing table, this boudoir lamp features a translucent “depression-glass” base, discernable by its sapphire blue color and bubble pattern. The matching yellow lampshade is made of offlined cardboard. Due to its low production cost, depression glass was a common choice for home decor in the late 1920s and 1930s. It was often very cheap and, sometimes, given away for free. Depression glass was manufactured for several decades until production ceased in the mid-20th century. Items made of depression glass are popular amongst collectors today for their various hues and patterns and their significance in American history.

Description An account of the resource Although the first hand-operated egg beaters have been around since the mid-1800s, it was not until many years later that they morphed into this more recognizable design. The Maynard Manufacturing Company, based in Glendale, California, began producing whisks such as these in the 1950s based on a 1923 patent. This appliance includes pastel yellow plastic handles and stainless-steel whisks. Before the prevalence of electric kitchen tools, a manual egg-beater like this was a labor-saving kitchen appliance.

Description An account of the resource Construction workers at the dam were easily identifiable through their workwear. Known at the time as coveralls, these carpenter-style overalls had useful features, including four front pockets, engraved brass hardware, hammer loops, and a Hercules brand label. The Hercules brand was manufactured and sold by Sears, Roebuck, and Co. in the early twentieth century and was widely known for its quality work clothes. It notes that Sears distributed its catalog to many area residents. Some may have got this catalog, but it was due to Boulder City Co. Store by Six companies, where they purchased these overalls and other items for work during the construction.

Description An account of the resource Evening wear calls for a black cashmere overcoat. The details on this single-breasted heavyweight coat include two jetted pockets, three buttons, and cuffs. The top and middle buttons are stitched with purple and green thread, respectively, suggesting that these buttons are not in their original condition and restitched. The formality of this coat offers a sharp contrast to the relaxed look of men’s workwear at the dam site. Fun Fact!

Description An account of the resource Tru-Vue manufactured this stereoscopic viewer to commemorate the completion of the Hoover Dam. Typically available in multiple colors, stereoscopic viewers were made primarily of Bakelite, an early plastic. The viewer has an aesthetic of Art Deco, a decorative style that became popular in the mid-1910s and took various incarnations through the late-1930s. Users advanced 35mm filmstrips through the viewer to operate the Tru-Vue using a built-in lever, and each frame appears in three dimensions when held up to a light source. This example, produced in the late 1930s, offers a photographic tour of Boulder Dam shortly after its construction.

In addition, recipes from the Green Hut Cafe allowed tourists to take home a piece of Boulder City's Historic District with them.
